Building Inspections
The City of Springtown is committed to ensuring that residential and commercial construction projects are completed safely, professionally, and in compliance with applicable building codes. To support this effort, the City contracts with Bureau Veritas, a third-party building inspection and plan review firm, to provide professional code review and inspection services.
While Bureau Veritas performs plan reviews and inspections on behalf of the City, all permit applications, permit-related correspondence, inspection requests, and project submittals must be submitted through the City of Springtown permitting staff at City Hall. City Hall serves as the primary point of contact for all permitting activities and coordinates directly with the City’s inspection provider throughout the review and inspection process.
Services Provided
Building inspection services include:
- Reviewing permit applications for new construction, additions, remodels, and other regulated work.
- Conducting plan reviews for compliance with adopted building codes.
- Performing required inspections throughout the construction process.
- Investigating complaints regarding unpermitted construction or code violations.
- Providing information regarding permitting requirements, construction procedures, and code compliance.
- Assisting property owners, contractors, and developers through the permitting and inspection process.
